Title: Steering Damper Proect
Post by: adeejaysdelight on 31 January 2014, 02:59:00 pm

So, having fitted my FG Gubellini shock I realised I have taken my bike as far as I can with worthwhile bike specific additions. So I decided I now have to start thinking about modifying parts designed for other bikes, because the idea of finishing my 2 1/2 year project with the Fazer is making me sad on the inside.


The other day I lost out on a steering damper from a BMW S1000RR. But this morning I won one from a K5 GSXR 750  :D .


I have no idea if I can make it fit my bike, but I will be posting the results up here either way.


Have any of you lot tried this before? And if so, what was your success rate?
